“As the group pauses activities, LISA embarks on the first true chapter of her solo career, confronting the question of who she is beyond BLACKPINK,” it reads.

“Forging her own path, particularly in the Western music market, brings new pressures, relentless scrutiny and the challenge of redefining herself on her own terms,” it continues.

“Intimate, emotional and revealing, Always Lalisa captures an artist at a crossroads, documenting a year of risk, reinvention and self-discovery as LISA begins to define not only her next chapter, but the woman and artist she wants to become.” The announcement of Always Lalisa ‘s theatrical release comes about a month after the time and place of its premiere were revealed : Sept.

And while the documentary captures LISA as she dips her toes into solo artistry for the first time, the performer is already gearing up to release her next solo set.
